Taskbar pins don't work properly

I think the images below best describe the issue. The same was raised before, which said that it was fixed in a dev release, but I don't see it yet, or maybe it's a regression. 

 

Edge open window is on the left, and the pinned icon on the right. The right-click jump menu belongs to the right icon. Note that when I click it, a new window opens, but it has its own icon in the taskbar. That's the left icon. 

Left icon is the active browser window

 

In this image, the left icon is the newly opened Edge window (as described above). Its right-click jump menu does not have the 'Open InPrivate' and 'New Window' options. 

Active icon is the active browser window

 

I tired reinstall, unpin and repin to no avail. 

 

Some info:

  • Windows: 2004 (20H1) -10.0.19041.0 Clean install, with all updates
  • Edge Dev: 85.0.531.1 (Official build) dev (64-bit)

 

Thanks.

    Did you recently update to windows version 2004? Because I faced the same issue with Microsoft edge canary version after I updated my laptop. However, once I reinstalled edge canary, it worked fine. Maybe you can try to restart your computer and see if it helps.

      Yes, it was a clean install of 2004. Reinstall of edge dev didn't help, so I'm not sure what to do.

        Maybe what you can do is revert back to the previous version of windows. That seems to be the last option possible. Have you tried restarting your PC?
